Product Description

Is a trip to the local coffeehouse part of your daily routine? Are you transformed by the ritual of selecting and grinding the perfectly roasted bean for a midday treat? Whether you take it black, with sugar, or with cream, the stories in Chicken Soup for the Coffee Lover's Soul will delight you. 

This delectable collection of stories is full of interesting facts and anecdotes about coffee's history and culture, how a bean goes from field to cup, and the many varieties available.

From meeting a blind date to sharing quality time with treasured family and friends, any expedrience is better served with coffee. In Chicken Soup for the Coffee Lover's Soul, you'll laugh along with others who are obsessed with brewing the "perfect cup."  You might even recognize yourself in the confessions of so many who can't--or won't--live without their favorite daily blend!

You'll be reminded of cherished memories when the aroma teased you awake at the crack of dawn or when a thermos full of hot, strong coffee warmed you on  a cold winter day.

A simple "cup of Joe" now shares the counter with a "grande triple mocha latte" and creative barristers have developed coffee service into an art form, all to the delight of coffee lovers who can't imagine life without a daily cup.

So curl up with a freshly brewed cup of your favorite blend and prepare to indulge your passion for one of the world's most popular and beloved beverages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming coffee table book, perfect for gift giving, October 13, 2007

By	C. Williams (Pittsburgh PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the perfect present for the holiday season (or any other special occasion). For those not knowing what to give as a gift, this little tome will definitely please male and female friends and relatives with its inspirational true stories of coffee and how the coffee drinking experience has brought people together in fellowship and family. First off, this book looks a bit different from the usual Chicken Soup tome - the cover is about an inch smaller in size and the inside pages are printed on an off-white paper (instead of the usual bright white) which makes reading easy on the eyes. The cover is shaded with a coffee cream color, reminiscent of brewed coffee. It's a pleasure to hold this book in my hands. And it's an even greater pleasure to relax with this book for an uplifting spell of reading enjoyment. I always feel better after leafing through a Chicken Soup book, and this one in particular. I thrive on "feel good" stories. I appreciate the life lessons that the authors provide, and I get a kick out of seeing how they incorporate those lessons with the joy of drinking coffee. Pass the cheese tray, friends, and relax with a steaming cuppa - and this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The gift that keeps on giving!, June 26, 2008

By	R. Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book for a co-worker as a Christmas gift. SHE LOVES IT. She frequently brings it to work to show me something in it that she finds interesting, and this is many months after I gave it to her! She brings it up all the time how much she enjoys this book. So if you know of someone who likes this kind of reading AND enjoys a good cup of coffee, this is THE gift to get for them.
